New York, Oct. IS. President Taft had his llrst view yesterday of the wonderful piece of machinery on Ellis Island where tho aliens of many coun tries undergo their first gruelling on the road to American cltlienshlp. The human Interest side of the work at the big immigrant station appealed to the president keenly. Ho saw the process if handling the alicnB .rom tnc mo ment of landing up to the moment of final discharge when, with tear streaming eyes, they rushed into the arms of waiting friends or relatives. It was this last phase of the work which struck the president most deeply. During his Investigation the presi dent sat with Immigration Commis sioner William Williams In a number of appealed cases. Mr. Taft proved to be a lenient Judge and It was tnoeea u happy fate which brought nearly a score of rejected Immigrants to tho bar for final decision on the day or the president's visit. The prosldent took a hand in practically all the cases of the Immigrants who came up on appeal. The most Interesting case of all was that of a Welsh miner and his family of seven motherless cnii- dren. The presloent personally ui rocted that the family be admitted and he declared that It he was at alt Judge of human nature tne seven hllriren would grow Into the best Ivnn Of C It Sns. AS M rMUll oi . r .(wiles and observations Mr. Taft had , i,, .i Inn! nlsht a pretty oenniie inclusion on three points: 1. He believes that a strong effort .il.ii.ilil be made to dlstriDUte tne in Mux of foreigners and do awsv wiui ii... nresent congestion In New rors 1. He believes that heavier penal ties should be exacted from the steamship companies for Infraction of ih. immigration rules so as to make them more strict In the examination of immigrants before shipping them in foreign countries. t He believes that all male Imml grants upon their arrival here should lie put through a thorough examina tion as to ths Condition of families left behind In Europe. One of ths most difficult human problems of the Immigration service has been the sep- Lratlon of families, but the president I believes ths problem can be solved by ! requiring Imigrants.to tell In advance whether or not famlU le'l :,.hlnd are eligible for admission under the immigraUou fcws.

INFERENTIAL CONDEMNATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM Most of Thost Present Sat Silent, In dicating That They Were Not Wholly In Sympathy. Cincinnati, Oct. IS. Inferential condemnation of the American public school system was made at the fourth joint session of the house of bishops and the house of deputies of the gen eral convention of the Episcopal church. While no word was said against the system. It was made plain by the speakers that they thought ed ucation and religious training should go hand in hand. Despite the fact that there were scores present who agreed with the speakers, there was no marked ap plause when the subject was brought up. Most of the two thousand per sons present Indicated by their si lence that they were not wholly in sympathy with the suggestion of a combination of religion and education. This movement has as one of Its champions the Rev. Dr. Endicott Pea- body, head of the Groton school, in Massachusetts, and formerly headmas ter for the children of Theodore Roosevelt, who attended his school. Dr. Peabody told the gathering that he thought parochial schools are the best that can be furnished. He ar gued that it is best in districts where parochial schools do not exist to have the children excused from their public school rooms for a portion of each day that the religious education may be taught them in either rooms or buildings apart from the school .houses. "State education Is a menace to the Church of Christ unless It Is supple mented with religious education," de clared Bishop Charles H. Brent, of Manila, P. I., in discussing the meth ods Which should be used to form these schools. Bishop Albion W. Knight of Ha vana. Cuba, also attacked the public school system and said that until a parochial system is evolved for the Protestant Episcopal church and Is followed out th children of the church will continue to live amid sur roundings which are but half condu cive to their religious wellbelng.
